Chapter 191 – 18. The Princess Is One, Two, Three, Uh… ?

“It’s an engagement ceremony.”

The engagement ceremony, which was only a day, less than 24 hours in terms of time, made Siwoo upset.

It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s because it’s awkward.

Perhaps this engagement would not last a few years if there were no problems.

It is clear that he will marry and become a married man.

An experience that has not been done in the first round or even on Earth.

‘That person is none other than the princess of the empire.’

It’s more than enough to make you feel weird.

3rd Princess Helena Glazer.

When he becomes betrothed to her, his status becomes royalty.

To be precise, until marriage, they are treated below the collateral imperial family, and after marriage, they become the same rank as the collateral imperial family. And the husband of the princess gets the right to inherit the throne. Because that’s what it can be.

From now on, the nobles of the Empire will see him as a potential Seo Hwang.

He doesn’t really have anything to do with Seohwang, though.

“I feel strange.”

“How strange are you?”

“Huh?”

A voice suddenly came from beside him and he turned his head.

Pale orange twintails.

It was the 7th Princess, Linda Glaser.

“Rin? When did you come?”

“I just came. What is your brother-in-law doing here?”

The place where Siwoo is located is the 4th garden of the Glazer Imperial Family.

If the size of the imperial castle means authority, then the imperial castle is so huge that no country could touch it.

Thanks to this, there were several gardens, but the fourth garden was very small and relatively unpopular.

This is because it is managed not by the empress, but by her 8th empress. Originally, the 1st Empress diligently took care of it, but after she died from illness, her youngest 8th Empress, who had just joined at the time, took over. And she couldn’t afford to pay attention to the garden.

It was naturally left halfway there.

“I like it. Here.”

“Yes? Here?”

“Yeah. Isn’t it pretty good?”

“Um, sorry. I’m not sure.”

Siwoo laughed and said he could.

In this world, gardening is a man’s hobby.

The gardens that the empresses and empresses were in charge of were also tended more for the emperor than for themselves, with some exceptions. So it can’t be helped that the princess, Linda, isn’t interested.

“Well, even if it’s not necessarily that, there won’t be many guys who like it here.”

“I see. Then why does your brother-in-law like this place?”

“Are you quiet for now?”

“Ah.”

“And I like the flowers growing a little wildly.”

“It’s difficult…”

Haha.”

Seeing Linda’s cryptic face, Siwoo smiled.

It was so cute to see a cute little lady desperately thinking about what it meant.

“Were you looking for me anyway?”

“Yes? Oh, yes!”

“It doesn’t look like you’re in a hurry, so there’s nothing wrong with it. Is that the same this time?”

“Hehe, fortunately.”

“Hehe. Then let’s spend some time together here.”

“Yes!”

In the meantime, the number of times Linda has visited Si-woo is very frequent.

Almost once every two days. There were many days when Siwoo emptied the Hwangseong, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he actually came every day when he was there. And her sweet sister-in-law, Linda, revealed the reason for her frequent visits from day one.

It’s because of the 2nd prince.

The 2nd prince is increasingly feeling a sense of crisis over the engagement of Siu and his 3rd princess.

What gets buried with the rise of the 3rd princess Seohwang is, of course, the 1st princess whose positions overlap the most. But she can’t be relieved that she is the second prince. It is because, if her mother ever changes her mind, it is certain that her second-princess faction will lose its prestige in an instant.

The 2nd Prince, the 3rd Princess, and the 3rd Empress, the mother of the twin princesses.

In fact, except for Helena’s 3rd Princess faction, the greatest strength of all factions also comes from their mothers.

1st Empress, 1st Prince.

2nd Empress, 1st Princess.

Finally, the 2nd Prince who was born to the 3rd Empress.

Because of this, Linda said, her 2nd Prince ordered her, as her underling and her younger brother, to make frequent contact with her Siu to elicit his liking and affection. If she’s not good enough, she’ll find out the information or weakness of the 3rd princess faction through him.

‘It’s a trivial outburst.’

When Linda heard what she said, Siwoo laughed at him inwardly.

When the operation to restore the 3rd princess proceeds as Siwoo and Helena planned, the first to be retired is not the 1st princess, but the 2nd prince.

There are several reasons.

Among them, the thoughts of the second prince were also correct.

The 3rd Empress is a person with a lot of anxiety and a lot of greed.

If the 2nd prince is in danger, she will in an instant add her hand to her eldest daughter.

“It’s not all there is.”

“Yes?”

“No. Nothing.”

Linda puffed out her cheeks at the nonsense.

“Lin?”

“I’m by your side, are you thinking of something else now, brother-in-law?”

“Huh? Hmm, it’s not really like that… No, is that right?”

“Do too much!”

“Uh, huh?”

Siwoo is taken aback when he sees Linda getting angry at her.

Actually, she wasn’t upset at all. It was just an operation.

Linda, who often spent time alone with him, realized the cause of the alienation she felt in Siu’s attitude towards their twins.

Illusion about age.

For some reason, he knows the twins as minors. She’s like that, she’s only recently reached adulthood, but when she looked at Linda, she seemed to look even lower than that, and she actually did, and she was right about that.

Linda decided to use it.

“Joy!”

Linda crossed her arms and turned her sideways.

To anyone’s eyes, he looked sulky.

However, if she was really angry, she would have kicked her seat, which means she wants to be appeased. It wasn’t something to be so angry about in the first place. Siwoo knew that too, so he stroked Linda’s head.

“Sorry, sorry. I won’t do that in the future. Are you mad?”

“Yes. I’m angry.”

“How can I relieve my anger?”

“I don’t know.”

“Ah, don’t do that.”

“Joy.”

Linda was being clever.

It bounced once or twice just enough to keep Siwoo from getting angry. And she waited for him to say what she wanted.

“I’ll listen to what you want, so look this way and relieve your anger.”

“…Whoa, do you want it?”

Unaware of her thoughts, he laughed, not knowing that he was being deceived.

Thinking that he was just a child to say what he wanted at once.

“Yeah. What to buy… Hmmm, not this. What do you like?”

“Please date me.”

“…Date?”

Siwoo doubts his ears.

Linda turned her sideways and she smiled broadly and nodded her head.

“Yes! A date!”

Siwoo replied that he thought about it for a while, but knew it right away. Even if he called it a date, as children would say, it would be at the level of going out to play. Since the royal family is busy with the engagement ceremony tomorrow, there is no burden because they won’t be able to go anywhere.

“Ok, fine.”

“Wow! It’s a date!”

Linda excitedly raises her hand.

Siwoo ruminated on the idea that he was also a child.

I never dreamed that the sister-in-law of the 7th princess was acting like a child on purpose.

“Okay, where shall we go?”

“My room!”

“Lean’s room? You’re not going somewhere?”

“Hehe, unless you keep the date, there’s nowhere else to go. Just go to my room and hang out.”

“Then let’s do it.”

It’s just a room Siwoo followed Linda to her room without any suspicion.

Then, in the middle, I remembered something.

“By the way, Rin.”

“Yes, brother-in-law!”

“Don’t Rin share a room with Ren?”

This is the part that added to Siwoo’s misunderstanding.

Even though Linda and Leslie are twins, they still share a room as adults. Some of the rooms inside the imperial castle have been remodeled to make them more spacious, but they are not at the level of the two rooms of the prince and princess. Still, the two liked each other without complaint.

“Right? Why is that?”

“Ummm, no.”

Siu shook his head.

Is it because I’m young? Or did he think he was too sensitive?

No matter how much I say it’s a date, I wondered if it didn’t matter that the twins could be together.

Of course, there is a possibility that there is no possibility, but Leslie was reading a book on one side of the room she opened the door and entered.

“Wren!”

“Lin… Huh? Tongue, brother-in-law?”

Of course, Leslie thought it was Linda and didn’t even turn her head.

She raised her head with an annoyed face at the twins’ call and was startled to see Siu.

And she hid behind the book she was looking at.

“Uh, why is my brother-in-law here…”

“I said let’s go on a date!”

“Date…?”

Siu explained what just happened to Leslie, who didn’t understand.

Then the 8th princess’ eyes sparkled. Although she praised her sister over and over again on the inside, she replied that she was squeamish on the outside. It seemed strange that she was so casual, but Leslie didn’t know.

‘They really love their brother-in-law. No, he liked me.’

Human crush, not rational love.

It was quite shocking to see Michael, the husband of her 1st princess, gossiping about her brother-in-law itself.

‘That’s how many people would like Michael…’

“Can I wear it too?”

Leslie sneakily came to the table where Siu and Linda were sitting.

Linda said she was right, and she took her hand and dragged her.

It was not next to her, but next to Siwoo.

“Hehe, I have a lot of time today, so let’s play slowly.”

“Haha. We played a lot until now.”

“Even so! Except for the first day, we haven’t been able to play much. My brother-in-law is busy, too, and someone interrupts me.”

“No, that’s right.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Except for the first day of his return visit to the Empire, he had never talked with the twin princesses for more than an hour a day, and could not stay in one place for less than 30 minutes. There are many reasons, but in the end it’s because I’m busy.

“Today, I specially prepared a game.”

“Games? But especially?

Hehe.”

Linda laughed innocently and ran to her bed, fetching something like a thick plate from under her pillow.

A popular board game in the empire that Siwoo is also familiar with.

It is a game that uses objects that are easy to use your brain lightly.

“Oh, that’s great. But why did you put it under the pillow?”

“If they get caught, they’ll take it away.”

“Are you lost?”

Did the imperial family forbid even this kind of play for the imperial family?

Or is it because I’m afraid that young children will be too absorbed in this kind of thing?

It was questionable, but I didn’t ask in detail because I didn’t think it was important.

Instead of her, I helped her and arranged her game. No, I was going to

“What?”

What he knew was that he had to set the plate himself, but whether this was an artifact or not, various props were automatically set. It made me think that what the imperial family wrote was different. The nobles also used ordinary tools, not artifacts.

“It’s amazing. There are things like this.”

“It’s actually banned, hehe.”

“…♡”

“Prohibition?”

10 minutes after the start of the game.

Siu could understand why this game, no, this artifact was banned.
